The Sunday Manoa

Sunday Manoa was founded by guitarist Peter Moon and two members of the Pahinui Brothers, Cyril and Bla. The group combined traditional Hawaiian slack guitar and percussion with a mainland-influenced rock inflection: the product of Moon's education in North America. The group's Cracked Seed, issued in the 1970s, sold an unprecedented 30,000 copies in Hawaii alone. ~ Leon Jackson

Actually the first Sunday Manoa was with Peter Moon, Bla Pahinui and Albert Baby Kalima. This was before Palani Vaughn joined.

The bio is correct just lacking, a lot! The first trio of Sunday Manoa backed up Palani Vaughn and consisted of Peter Moon, Alfred Baby Kalima, and Cyril Pahinui they released Meet Palani Vaughan and the Sunday Manoa. Palani Vaughn and Cyril Pahinui left and Cyrils brother Bla Pahinui joined the trio to release Hawaiian Time. Then Baby and Bla left Sunday Manoa and Peter Moon brought in Robert and Roland Cazimero. This trio released Guava Jam Crack Seed and Sunday Manoa 3.

The bio is correct... The Cazimeros was the last combination... The pre-Cazimero albums are classic recordings...
